Actually, I don't usually have trouble sleeping. But every so often I'll have a few nights where I'll sleep until about 4 am and then stay very near the surface until it's time to get up. The best thing in that situation, I find, is just not to fight it -- relax and not obsess about sleeping, and at least I manage to continue resting. After two or three nights, whatever was causing it generally passes, and I'm back to sleeping through, interrupted only briefly by Mother Nature's summonses
When I can`t sleep i get up and either clean somethin gin the house or do something craft....sometimes I read or get on the puter.....once in awhile I will turn on the TV.

oo! I have the same problem! Oo ever sence I was, like, 5 or something and I stayed up all night watching cartoons, i've never slept properly. lol. Seiriously, though, there are soe points whee I dont' sleep to 7 AM. and sometimes i dont' sleep till six pm on the weekends. Oo''. Worst thing is, I'm a rock when I fall asleep. ^^ I'm like my dad, When i fall asleep I become a rock. A bomb could go off and I probubyl wouldn't wake. I could get on a good sleeping sceduel for like two days then it's bakc to going night night at 3 AM. it's a good thing I'm home schooled, ha. really, when I really wanna get to sleep I'll read a book, play my game boy advance/gamecube, or force myself to sleep if I get drastic. But, seriosly, there are time's when I dont' sleep for 24 houres. like now. it's 7:07 AM and I'm still up, waiting for my rp friends to egt on and doing stuff like drawling on my paint program and writeing in my million storys. ^^''
If I can't sleep it's because something is on my mind, so I write about it. Writing helps me figure things out, so I usually figure it out and feel like I can sleep afterwards. If not, I just stay up until I'm exhausted enough to pass out. I get online until then.
